As many of you already know, the world lost a bright and beautiful soul far too soon. Addison Martino passed away suddenly from a medical emergency on Friday, October 31st. She is survived by her loving parents, James and Amberly, her brothers, Evan and Isaac, her boyfriend, Drew Damery, and their dog, Maggie Mae.

The Martino family has been a steady light in Bolivar for decades — a family known for their kindness and deep roots in this community. In moments like these, Bolivar has always had a way of coming together, and now is our time to surround this family with that same love and support they’ve shown so many others.

Many caring friends and neighbors have reached out asking how they can help. This fund was created to offer a way to do just that — to ease the unexpected financial burdens that come with such a heartbreaking loss, including funeral expenses and the time and space needed for grieving and healing.

Any amount, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated. Your generosity will help lift some of the weight from the Martino family’s shoulders as they navigate this unimaginable time. Above all, they are profoundly grateful for the love, prayers, and kindness pouring in from all around them.
